Philippine star Michelle Gumabao’s juggling of volleyball with her modeling career has finally paid off, as the youngster finished in the Top 15 of the Miss Globe 2018 Awards this Sunday in Tirana, Albania

Although dressed to perfection in designer dresses for which they model, it’s safe to say that the Creamline‘s debut in the tournament wasn’t as pretty. Although the team battled from a 1-2 deficit to force a tie-break, it managed to suffer a 15-1 run in the game’s final frame en route to losing 3-2 (27-25, 17-25, 25-23, 19-25, 15-5).

“Of course it’s not really what we anticipated for today. Petro Gazz played really well. We just have to accept it and recover immediately. Of course, we have much more to do as a team. So we’re really looking forward to our next games.”

After the gala on Saturday night, the girls were right back at the gym on Sunday morning to practice for Creamline‘s next game, this time against Tacloban.
